Brussels  - Belgian cyclist Frank Vandenbroucke, who was found dead in his hotel room in Senegal, did not die as the result of an act of violence, it was reported Friday.

The Belgian news agency Belga quoted Isidor Boye, a doctor who carried out a post-mortem at the Dantec hospital in Senegal's capital Dakar, as saying there was no sign of alcohol or anything to indicate violence had been used.

Toxicological examinations will be carried out in Belgium or France when the body is repatriated.

Initial reports had indicated Vandenbroucke, 34, who was found dead on Monday while on holiday, died of a blood clot in the lung.

On Wednesday, Senegalese police arrested two men and a woman who are being investigated for the theft of two phones and some money from the late cyclist.(dpa)
